Budget Process

2018 Budget

Every year the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality (NRRM) reviews and approves a budget that sets the tax rates to fund important services to the community. Regional Council has begun its review of the 2018 municipal budgets and this process includes the opportunity for you to provide your feedback on how your tax dollars are collected and spent.

This year the Northern Rockies is undertaking a phased approach to budget process, providing a prelimninary budget for review and comments to help shape the final budget document which, once approved, is used to set tax rates and municipal service levels for the community.

Preliminary Budget Document

The preliminary budget documents provide a high level overview of the 2018 proposed budget with a break down of revenue and expenses across Municipal departments. This document, which can be accessed online, has been reviewed by Regional Council and approved to be used as a starting point to facilitate public engagement.

To assist you in your review of the preliminary budget, a slideshow presentation has been prepared, highlighting the key points of the budget.

If you have any questions related to the preliminary budget, please do not hesitate to contact the Municipal Offices at 250-774-2541 or email admin@northernrockies.ca.

Public Engagement

This year's budget process includes several options for you to provide your feedback on the budget, taxation and services offered in the community. If you have any comments you would like to have included in Regional Council's final budget review (on April 7th), please submit written submissions to admin@northernrockies.ca.

Also, for the first time, the Northern Rockies hosted a successful open house event on February 22nd from 2:00pm to 7:00pm in the Recreation Centre Community Hall with Regional Council members and staff on hand to answer questions.
